These sound familliar. Which source are you cribbing from here (I can think of three...).
> Mr Epitome frowned. “It’s bad news when we send for back-up and the best powerhouse we can field is Visionary.â€Â

That's a little unfair. I have a strong suspicion that Visionary has derailed more villians than anyone else...
Just not directly.

I know this is probably one of my more bizzare ideas, but has Xander's familliar reincarnated?
> “He’s a big softy really.â€Â
